Fok noted that Yung is vice president of the Basketball Association of Hong Kong, China. While the incident may have involved the coach's personal conduct, he said the association has a code of conduct for coaches and that the behavior shown in the video clearly crossed a line.
He urged the school and the relevant sports association to take the matter seriously, conduct a thorough investigation and implement appropriate follow-up measures to protect students' well-being.
